Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Psi-k: PhD position in Theoretical Physics (Univ ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Dear Psi-k community,
I would like to announce an opening for a fully funded PhD position (75% TVL-E13) in my group in the Faculty of Physics at the University Duisburg-Essen, Germany, starting February 2022.
We will develop semiempirical electronic-structure models for structure exploration in energy materials. The project will include the implementation of extensions to existing density-functional tight-binding approaches and an automated parameter optimization based on accurate reference data. This project is supported by the return fellowship of the state of North-Rhine Westphalia.

or on my website https://www.uni-due.de/physik/stein/
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student (m/f/d) with an excellent Masters degree (< 1.5 in the German system, A-level equivalent) in physics, chemistry or a related field. Knowledge of electronic-structure theory and excellent English communication skills are required. Previous programming experience and basic knowledge of electronic-structure programs such as Q-Chem, Orca or VASP are desired. The project is focused on method development rather than applications of electronic-structure calculations.
Applications with reference number 960-21 containing a detailed motivation letter, CV, transcripts of records, diplomas and a recommendation letter should be sent as a single pdf directly to me (email can be found in the linked pdf). The deadline for the application is December 19th, 2021.
I would be grateful if you pass this on to qualified potential candidates.
Best regards,
Christopher Stein
